examination. The researcher chose the students who had poor marks, some who had average marks, and also some who had good marks. For each class, the
researcher interviewed three students. Hence, in this research there were six students who were interviewed. This was aimed to represent the students’
opinions and points of view about the modelling in their speaking class.
E. Data Gathering Techniques
To obtain the data, the researcher collected the students’ questionnaires that had been distributed. The questionnaires contained the question items represented
their responses towards the use of the model in their class. For each item, four choices were provided based on Likert Scale 1, 2, 3, and 4; number ‘1’
represented strongly disagree, ‘2’ represented disagree, ‘3’ represented agree, and ‘4’ represented strongly disagree. For each item, the researcher had to count the
percentage of the students who had positive responses and negative responses. It was to find out the students’ responses toward the use of the model. To ease the
computation of the percentages of each item, the researcher used table 3.1 table of data gathering technique.

For the observation, the researcher made observation sheets. There were 20 items on these sheets. After the data of the observation had been obtained, the
researcher reported the data and made conclusions. In addition, the researcher interviewed representative students to verify the data. It means that the interview
was conducted to clarify the data. Moreover, the researcher may find the additional information for the research from the interview.
F. Data Analysis
For the data analysis, the researcher performed 3 steps. The first step was analyzing the data on the observations. It was to find out the implementation of
the model in the speaking classes and also whether the students’ responses on the implementation were positive or negative. In the research, the researcher
presented the result of the analysis in words in the form of paragraphs. Next, the researcher analyzed the data on the questionnaires. From the data
that had been gathered through the questionnaires, the researcher could find out the students’ responses on the use of audio recording as the model in the speaking
V class. The researcher provided four choices of responses to the statement on the
questionnaire. First, the researcher counted the number of students in each choice of response of each item. Then, the researcher counted the percentage of the
response of each item. According to Cohen, et al 2000: 96, to find out whether the students perceive good or bad responses, the researcher has to count the mean
scores. Therefore, the researcher counted the average of the response of each item so that the researcher could conclude whether the students had positive or
negative responses. In this case, for the positive statements on the questionnaire, the negative response was for the average that was less than 2.5. Meanwhile, the
positive response was for the average that was more than 2.5. Thereby, it was not valid for the negative statements on the questionnaire. Hence, for the negative
statements on the questionnaire it was in effect to the contrary. Here, the researcher presented the result of the raw data in the form of a table. The table
showed the students’ responses toward the use of audio recording as the model in the speaking V class of each item.
Finally, the researcher analyzed the data on the interview. The data on the interview was not the main data in the research. After obtaining the results of the
data on the observations and the questionnaires and the researcher had found out the students’ responses on the use of the model, the next step was to verify the
data. It was an additional data. Here, the researcher interviewed the representative students and reported the result in the form of a paragraph as the additional
information.
